Get ready for an unforgettable summer at Camp Ochoco! Campers and staff will gather in the beautiful Ochoco National Forest for three days and nights of adventure, friendship and living God’s way. Our theme for 2026 is “Follow Me,” focusing on the rich, fulfilling life that comes from putting God first in a self-centered world. Every activity and lesson is designed to help campers learn what it truly means to follow Jesus Christ.

Camp Ochoco is held at the Ochoco Christian Conference Center, just 25 miles east of Prineville along Oregon Highway 26. Surrounded by towering pines and peaceful scenery, it’s the perfect place to explore God’s creation while enjoying a full lineup of exciting activities.

Campers can look forward to favorites like archery, swimming, and the gaga zone, plus plenty of high-energy sports. In arts and crafts, campers will create something handmade to take home, and everyone will participate in a special service project to support those unable to attend the Feast of Tabernacles. In Bible Explorers, you’ll dive into the lives of biblical heroes, while Wilderness Explorers will help you appreciate all that God has made. And of course—don’t miss dance class!

Come join the fun, grow spiritually and experience the joy of following God at Camp Ochoco!
